The restaurant boom of the past two decades has both been a breeding ground for and relied heavily on arresting graphic design. A restaurant's menu, matchbooks, business cards, signage, and napkins are as important to the brand and image as its interiors. Graphic design can set the entire tone of a restaurant. This book celebrates the unsung heroes of restaurant graphics, and illustrates the best examples of their craft from around the world. Aimed at professional graphic designers, students, and restaurateurs seeking inspiration, it provides in-depth examples that show how restaurant graphic design is developing and hints at changes to come in the future.
Exploring the philosophical parallels between John Dewey and Maurice Merleau-Ponty reveals their shared commitment to a nuanced understanding of experience, despite their distinct backgrounds. Both thinkers challenge the limitations of British empiricism and Cartesian dualism, advocating for a philosophy grounded in lived experience. Their dialectical approaches, influenced by Hegel, allow them to redefine the subject-world relationship. Dewey's pragmatism and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology converge intriguingly, highlighting their mutual affinities and the potential for dialogue between their traditions.
